Billing Videos for Lands and Realty

Timely and accurate billing and collection of the realty program’s rent, cost recovery and fees are a priority of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  It creates revenue for not only the BLM but also for U.S. Treasury’s General Fund. The following video resources (including the scripts) are for any BLM employee required to use the LRAM and CBS applications in the performance of their billing and/or collection duties or train others to use these systems.  The videos are important in that they will assist BLM employees to witness first-hand how to do specific tasks in the LRAM and CBS applications.  For convenience, main topics are broken into individual segments and may be used at the discretion of viewer (i.e., to teach new or refresh skills).   It is recommended that new users view the videos or scripts sequentially from a process standpoint in those applications.  To begin watching the videos or view/print the scripts, please click on any of the links below:
